Talent can be predicted. But what happens when it's weaponised? After dropping out of university, Eli Hayle disappears into the world of big data and obsession. What emerges is EDGE-a groundbreaking system that can predict elite soccer performance before it occurs. It's fast, efficient, and terrifyingly accurate. When EDGE correctly forecasts a sudden market move in professional soccer, the world takes notice. But so does something more dangerous. A covert agency known only as ZRX views EDGE not as a sports tool, but as a weapon. What begins as a breakthrough in soccer soon spirals into a high-stakes game of surveillance, grief and control. EDGE is a fast-paced techno-thriller that explores the collision of AI, talent, and power in the age of big data. Fans of Moneyball will love this look at how prediction becomes control
